In many countries people increasingly talk about money (how much they earn or how much they pay for things in their daily conversations). Why? Is this a positive or negative development?

It is a fact that
people
love to talk about
money
such
as income and the price of things in
this
modern society. In my view, there are some reasons in both physical and mental aspects, and it will bring about the negative effect if it develops deeply.
Money
is required when we live in
this
society and we have limited ability to earn
money
.
Therefore
, realistically, all of us cannot avoid counting our
money
when we spend it.
Also
, in the macro view, the government
also
care about it. the figure of GPD is issued every year for measuring the wealth of a country. Populace pays attention to it not only because of the international state of a country but
also
because of the welfare of
people
. Regarding mental reasons,
people
generally think that the ability to earn
money
is related to the success of their life.
Moreover
,
people
like competition. So we always compare our level of income with our friends or companions.
However
, I think that
this
is a negative development when
people
deeply concentrate on it.
First,
I do not agree that
money
is everything. As human beings, embodying "freedom" is the highest value in our lives. So I believe that accomplishing mental achievements is more important than physical targets.
Otherwise
,
people
will become heartless because they think that
money
is the only criterion for measuring how useful a human is.
For example
, we can help and take care of others as volunteers without any payment, and turn the topic of conversation from
money
to life. In summary,
Although
money
is necessary for our daily life, it turns us to be ruthless if we cannot control it well. So we can do some meaningful events with our friends rather than talking too much about
money
.
